The Theatrical Profession.

Merit will win and receive public recognition
and praise. Facts, which are the outcome of
general experience, growing through years of
critical and practical test, become rs roo'ed and
immovable as the rock OF Gibraltar in public
opinion and henceforth need no further guaran-
tee as 10 their genuineness. The indisputable
fact that Swifts Specific is the best blood puri-
fer in the world. is one of these immoyable
Gibraltar rock facts of which we have spok. n.
and every days experience roots this conviction
deeper and deeper in public opinion. Every
class of our people in America and in Europe,
every trade, calling and profession, including
the medical profession. have borne voluntary
testimony to the remarkable virtues of s. S. s.
and its iniallible efficacy in curing all diseases
of the blood. These testimonials are on file by
the thousands and open to the inspection of
all. Now come, unsolicited two distinguished
members of the theatrical profession, who CRATE
fully testify to the wonderful Curative qualities
of the Specific in their individual cases. Their
testimonials are herewith submitted To the pub
lie without further comment-let them speak
for themselves. The lady is a member of the
famous Thaha Theater Company, of New York,
and formerly of the Residence Theater, Berlin

of Chicago. The gentleman is a well-known
member of the New York 1halia Theater Com

NAToNrA DITCH.

Natoma ditch supplies water TO the vicinity of
Folsom. II takes water from the South Fork of
the American river, III section %, township II
north, range S east about one and one-half
miles above Salmon Falls. Ii has a southwest
erly course, is about eighteen miles long and
has capacity 10 deliver about forty cubic feet
per second about 1900 miners inches under
four-inch pressure). Its dimensions vary being
either top width nine feet, depth three feet on
grade of two feet TO the mile. or top-width
seven feet, depth three feet, on grade of four
feet 10 the mile. All fumes have dimensions to
give them-a corresponding capacity.
The ditch closely follows the alignment of the
American river from the head 70 near Mormon
Island. The terminus OF the main canal is
about two.,niles southeast Of Folsom lis prin-
cipal branches are the Bunker Hill branch,
about five miles long, TO Folsom: the Alder
creek branch, about four miles long, and the
Rhodes branch, six miles long. whose terminus
IS about fiveslniles south of Folsom.
The aggregate length of all distributaries is
about 30 miles
The water of the ditch is used equally by
miners and iTrigators: part of the irrigation is
done by the company owning the ditch. Water
Is sold from the companys canals by the inch,
except when used for irrigation. In this case
water Is paid Tor by the vine or tree. For the
irrigation of small gardens or housc-lots special
charges are made. The charge in Folsom is IS
per annum per house-lot. The charge per IL
hours inch of water ranges from cents 10 so
cents.
The canal company irrigates only about 200
acres of the 100 which it has under cultivation
in vines and trees Only the grapes for ship
ment are irrigated besides portions of the fruit
for shipment. The canal was constructed and
is owned by the Natoma Water and Mining Com
paDy. which was incorporated in 1888. with a
capital stock of S500003 The capital stock was
afterwards increased 10 5000 COO of which the
company now kclsls $4,000.

Whose head works are near Auburn, on the
right bank of the North Fork of the American
river, in the southern part of section II, town
ship u north, range S east Water is diverted
from the river by means of timber crib dam
without rock filing, and the necessary head
gates TO control the inflow of water into the
ditch. This dam was constructed about 1850,
and is the fourth or fifth which has been con-
structed for the ditch. The head of The ditch
was formerly atout mile above the point where
the present dam is located. The greatest hight
of the Dam is about thirty feet
The ditch closely follows the course of the
American river, at grade of about four feet
per mile, in southwesterly direction, for about
twenty-five miles, where il delivers water into a
distributing reservoir. II has several branches,
which can be extended 10 command any part of
the rolling lands north of the American river
westward from Folsom.
The ditch is intended to be about seven feet
wide at the top, three feet at the bottom, and
to carry three feet of water. Its fumes are six
feet wide four feet deep, and generally carry
water four feet deep. The capacity of the ditch
at its head is about 20 cubic feet per second q 800
miners iuches) The owners of the ditch claim
a right to divert 5000 miners inches.
The water OF the ditch is used in part for min
ing, and part for irrigation. Irrigators are pre-
ferred users of water.

*Dry Creek ordinarily ceases to flow in July
and commences 10 flow again in December.
To facilitate comparison there has been noted
in the last column of the foregoing table the
amount of water which will be required in
Sacramento county for irrigation during each
month of the year after all the irrigable land
of the county sh sll have been covered with dis
tributing canals and bitches, and the practice
of irrigation shall have become general.
As the table clearly shows, there are only two
months, August aud November, in which the
available supply is less than the amount re-
quired, and even then half supply can be
relied upon. while in the other months the
amount available far exceeds that required.
1t is not necessary for me in this report to de-
scribe in detail the superintendent OF the water
of the several streams to the several districts.
Data which can be made basis of such appor-
tionmept has already been given in this report.
| have yet to add that the diversion of water
from these rivers can readily be accom-
plished. The character of the river canyons of
the Sierra Nevada is such that IL VIII always be
impTaeticable to construct large canals high
enough to command at once the foothills and
the plains and fortunately it is not necessary.
Large canals from each river should skirt the
base of the rolling land. These would COM
mand completely the entire smooth surfaced
plain land. There are no typographical obsta-
Giles of any great moment in the way of such
canals They will be relatively inexpensive.
The foothills and rolling lands must be supplied
with water by bitches of less capacity, with q
source in the mountains.
Along the streams on which Sacramento
must rely for water there have already been ac-
quired a number OF rights to water. Some of
these have such direct bearing on the question
of water supply for the lands of Sacramento
county that this report would not be complete
without description of the most important

the Giant Gap Water Company, and others
whose works are too remote to have any
immediate bearing on irrigation facilities in
